TOSCANA
CROCIANI
Crociani is one of the most traditional winery in Toscana producing the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Their entire 25 acres estate vines is nestled within the esteemed Le Caggiole sub-zone. Arnaldo Crociani, the founder, spent his lifetime amongst barrels and bottles and flasks and with dedication and passion applied his mastery to the winemaking art. His daughter Susanna is now carrying on that legacy with the influence of youth and desire to ensure that the wine carries on to a new generation. Focusing on very natural practices in her process, the fruit is farmed organically, and the amount of sulfur use in the cellar is very limited. The wines are only roughly filtered and are always backed by their classic Montepulciano rusticity.
